After train engineer and wanna-be author Paul (Mackenzie Crook) suffers two people falling under his train, he learns that three accidents qualify him for early retirement with 10 years' salary in a lump sum! Longing to move to the country to write, Paul rescues a furious would-be jumper (Colm Meany) who reluctantly agrees to hold off his death in favor of splitting Paul's reward with the wife (Imelda Staunton) and daughter (Gemma Arterton) he abandoned long before. Over the course of Tommy's celebratory last weekend of life, an odd friendship develops through shared experiences that change both men. Eventually Monday comes and both are confronted with the reality of the honor of a man's word vs. the ethical choice of the deal they struck.
